The Israeli government is studying plans for an international airport in the Jezreel Valley, site of the future Battle of Amageddon

A major political battle is raging over the pending construction of a new international airport in Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley, the site of the future Biblical, Last Days Battle of Armageddon.

The residents of this area say that the airport would bring significant harm to the agricultural land reserves of the Jezreel Valley and it is one of the worst elements of Israeli development policy.

Known as the "Bread Basket of Israel" the Jezreel Valley is not only vital to the agricultural needs of the Jewish state, but opponents to the planned airport say it would destroy the Biblical significance of the area and have a significant impact on tourism in the area as well.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Israeli government may want to construct an international airport in the Jezreel Valley, but Bible prophecy reveals something quite different for that location in the Last Days.

Since the beginning of the modern day state of Israel, the Jezreel Valley has been a major source for all the food stuffs that Israelis have consumed. The region of the Jezreel Valley has also been a key tourist attraction with Nazareth, home of Jesus Christ, on the edge of the valley and Megiddo, the site of 26 civilizations of the Jewish and Biblical peoples. With this proposal for the construction of an international airport in the valley, Israel's agricultural and tourism industries will be harmed significantly.

This aside, Bible prophecy calls for the Jezreel Valley to be the site of the Battle of Armageddon with the armies of the world gathering in this 1,000 square mile area to fight against the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:11-17 and Zechariah 14:4-5. This army, possibly 100 million soldiers, led by Satan, Antichrist and the False Prophet, will be defeated by Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:17-19. This Battle of Armageddon will bring an end to war, Jesus Christ will setup His eternal Kingdom at the conclusion of this battle.

International airport in the Jezreel Valley or not, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

PRO-GAY ACTIVIST NEW "SAFE SCHOOLS' CZAR

Obama Appoints Pro-Gay Activist Who Promotes Pro-Gay Clubs in Public Schools to be 'Safe Schools' Czar [Excerpts]

Kevin Jennings, appointed by President Obama to be assistant deputy secretary of education in charge of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, is founder of an organization dedicated to promoting pro-homosexual clubs and curricula in public schools.

Jennings founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an organization that is a prime force behind the creation of "gay-straight alliance" clubs in high schools--and some junior highs--around the country.

The organization says that its mission since 1994 has been to "assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression."

Gay-straight alliances are student organizations designed to promote the idea that some children are homosexual and to advocate for LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgendered) rights on school campuses.

The organizations seek to normalize homosexual behavior--and teach students that opposition to homosexuality or to "transgenderism" is a form of "oppression."

Obama’s Plans for PA State Stuck in Neutral

The deep division between Israeli and American views on the future of Judea and Samaria became more evident Tuesday when the office of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced the cancellation of a planned meeting with U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell, in France. The Prime Minister, on an official visit to Italy and France, was scheduled to meet with Mitchell on Thursday in Paris.

The American envoy instead will meet with Defense Minister Ehud Barak during Barak's trip to Washington next week.

The official explanation for the cancellation was the need to “clarify issues.” 

Prime Minister Netanyahu directly challenged U.S. President Barack Obama’s stand against the presence of Jews in Judea and Samaria in his speech 10 days ago at Bar-Ilan University. He voiced determination to continue building in existing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, but hoped to dampen the American response by expressing willingness to accept a "demilitarized Palestinian state." 

Instead, he has been met by more extreme resistance from the Obama administration. A U.S. State Department spokesman told reporters on Monday that opposition to building for Jews in Judea and Samaria includes established Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem, where thousands of housing units are under construction.

These areas of Jerusalem, in which more than 250,000 people live, were established up to 40 years ago after the entire city was restored to Jewish sovereignty during the Six-Day War. The neighborhoods were officially annexed to Jerusalem nearly 30 years ago.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned in recent days that making a loud fuss over the “settlements” clouds what he considers major issues towards a peace agreement between Israel and the PA.

Even if Washington wants to find a compromise solution, President Obama’s announcement in his speech in Cairo earlier this month has left the Arab world assuming that the U.S. is in its corner.

The Arab world has made it clear that it will not consider any compromise in the so called Arab Peace Plan, which calls upon Israel to surrender all of Judea and Samaria, including the Old City and Jerusalem neighborhoods, such as French Hill, Ramot and Gilo.

Obama Flexes Muscles in Mideast, Resumes Ties with Damascus

U.S. President Barack Obama is resuming diplomatic ties with Syria after a four-year hiatus as he aims for a regional peace in the Middle East. Syrian President Bashar Assad has conditioned peace with Israel on its regaining sovereignty of the strategic Golan Heights. Slightly more than half of the population on the Golan comprises Jews, and most of the remainder are Druze.

Israeli Foreign Minister spokesman Andy David told Israel National News Wednesday morning that the move by the U.S. is part of President Obama’s policies of “talking with the enemy” and that the issue of the Golan Heights is not a top American priority.

He noted that the return of an envoy does not necessarily mean an improvement in relations, and that the U.S. wants to have a more direct influence on the issues of the inquiry into the murder of former anti-Syrian Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri, the struggling economy in Syria and its support of Iraq rebels.

Imad Mustafa, Syria’s ambassador in Washington, welcomed the news of the return of an American counterpart to Damascus. The U.S. recalled its envoy from Syria four years ago, following the mammoth bomb attack that killed Hariri. Syria has been suspected of being behind the assassination.

"It's in our interests to have an ambassador in Syria," a senior Obama administration official told CNN. "We've been having more and more discussions, and we need to have someone there to engage," he said. The government has not made an official announcement, and no one has yet been named to serve in the post.

Syria remains on the American list of states that support terror, but relations between the two countries have been closer since President Obama took office in January.

Negotiations fall on mullahs' deaf ears

A best-selling author and end-times scholar believes the announced "landslide" victory by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the recent Iranian elections means that a major cataclysmic war is the likely outcome of those elections.

 Joel Rosenberg is the author of Inside the Revolution: How the Followers of Jihad, Jefferson, and Jesus are Battling to Dominate the Middle East and Transform the World. In a recent column published on WorldViewTimes.com, Rosenberg says the Supreme Islamic Leader Ayatollah Khamenei completely and wholeheartedly supports Ahmadinejad's radical end-times beliefs, including the president's commitment to destroy Israel and the U.S. in order to hasten the return of mahdi.
 
"Once you begin to understand who these men are that are running Iran, and that they really do believe that they've been chosen by Allah to bring about the end of the world, you realize that negotiations are not going to work," he contends. "And Israelis see this; the White House doesn't, but Israelis do."

So Rosenberg believes Israel is prepared to take action to avoid a second Holocaust. "Yes, Israelis are getting themselves prepared for the possibility that they're either going to have to strike first and try to neutralize Iran's nuclear program, or they are going to take a first strike from Iran," he adds. "And nobody in Israel wants to see a second Holocaust."
 
Followers of Jesus Christ must pray for peace but be prepared for war just in case the Lord allows a cataclysmic battle to ensue between Israel and Iran, Rosenberg concludes.

Mousavi Calls for 'Sea of Green' as Govt Clamps Down

Iranian government forces are moving with increasing ferocity to clamp down on dissident activities as presidential challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi urges his followers to gather for the "largest March of Sea of Green" later this week.

The protest, planned by the opposition to be the largest ever held in the Iranian capital, is being billed in part as a memorial to Neda, a 27-year-old woman who bled to death after being shot during the weekend protests by the Basij militia. The young woman's death was filmed and broadcast on the video-sharing YouTube website, where tens of thousands of people saw it within hours.

Neda has become a symbol for those protesting the Ahmadinejad regime; at many subsequent demonstrations, protestors have been carrying signs proclaiming, "I am Neda."

Younger demonstrators are growing somewhat more cautious in the face of the militia brutality.  It is impossible to know how many people have actually been shot to death by the government forces; media reports and civilian "Tweets" on the Twitter social networking mini-blogging internet site have put the number between 19 and "dozens."

Many more have been wounded in the ongoing violence; government forces have used tear gas canisters, water cannons, gunshots and batons to batter the protestors into abandoning their efforts.

Iran's opposition calls for new mass demonstrations

MOSCOW, June 24  - The Iranian opposition has called for another round of protests on Wednesday night in the wake of the government's refusal to review the disputed results of Friday's presidential election, Al Jazeera news agency reported.

The Guardian Council, Iran's highest legislative body, said on Tuesday it would not annul the results of the presidential vote and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his new Cabinet will be sworn in between July 26 and August 19.

At least 19 protesters were reported killed and hundreds arrested over the weekend following street protests in Tehran over alleged ballot fraud following the landslide reelection of the hardline Ahmadinejad on June 12.

Official results gave the incumbent 63% of the vote, with reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi getting 34%.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki warned Europe and the United States on Sunday against meddling in Iran's domestic issues.

Disorder in Iran -- seeds of a revolution

A best-selling author and critic of Islam says there's a real possibility that the protests against the recent election results in Iran could be the seeds of a new Iranian revolution.

On Friday Tehran residents climbed on to their roofs and began to shout "God is great!"  and "Death to the Dictator!" in open defiance of Iran's supreme Islamic leader. The late-night cries came hours after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned opposition supporters to stop protesting the June 12 election that they say was rigged in favor of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
 
The unrest continued on Saturday, when an estimated 3,000 marchers confronted a blockade of security forces in Tehran. Witnesses say police fired tear gas and water cannons, then chased down demonstrators with clubs, helped by volunteer militiamen on motorcycles.
 
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says the Iranian government is clearly threatened by the continued street protests.
 
"They feel that [Khamenei] has compromised himself by affirming the validity of Ahmadinejad's re-election," Spencer says, "and it looks as if there was election fraud on a wide scale, which implicates [Khamenei]. That's a very serious problem for the Iranian regime that can't really be minimized.
 
"And so it is entirely within the realm of possibility that a movement that is simply protesting the presidential election results becomes something much greater."
 
Spencer says it looks as if there are some real possibilities that could be happening now.
